Out of the Wilderness: The Life of Abraham Lincoln

Most Americans still do not fully appreciate the nature of Abraham Lincoln’s greatness or of his contribution to the spread of democracy to the world.

How was it possible for a boy born and raised in the wilderness, who was without formal education and whose parents were only semi-literate, to become the nation’s leader at the time of its gravest crisis? How could he lead the divided North to victory in the Civil War, which the South was expected to win? How could he free the slaves even though public opinion in the North was opposed to emancipation? Why is it that the most controversial president in our history is so often looked upon as being above controversy?

Though an imaginative use of drawings, period photographs (many never before reproduced) and new footage showing how important sites in Lincoln’s life look today, Out of the Wilderness answers these and other questions and lead to a new appreciation of Lincoln the president. In its portrayal of Lincoln’s loves, friendships, and family life, it leads to a fresh understanding of Lincoln the man.
